I found one item in my search for “round vent grille” at SupplyHouse.com which seemed like it would fit my situation even though we are not connecting it to an exhaust duct.

Without unwrapping it I could tell it would fit the duct perfectly.

I ordered it on Monday and it was delivered to the house on Tuesday. I don’t think we’ll need the piece of metal tubing that came with it (left of photo above). The existing duct, once trimmed to floor level, should be sufficient to hold the small white plastic grille.

The duct in the conservatory bathroom is in the lower left of the photo and will be under the sink vanity.

I’m hoping that once the all-white tile floor is in it will be barely noticeable.

How beautiful is a gray house? All those shutters and more need to be scraped and painted. Next year, maybe.

Sneak peak at the exterior painting progress.

Do you take things apart before knowing how to make necessary corrections?

Welcome to The Glade, where the second generation of renovations has just begun and the mania about our home, music and other passions fill our days and nights.
We’re Charlie and Jo in the music world; Mary Jo and Charles to family; and JoJo and Charlie to each other. We are renovating a midcentury house in a Victorian historic district where we want to live there the rest of our lives. It's a 1946 house located in Maryland. We were married in this house.
Thus far (pre-blog) we refinished cabinets, added a window seat (still working on the cushion), rearranged a wall in the guest house due to sink/vanity replacement, planted a vegetable garden, and other quick and not-so-quick fixes. So this latest zeal for construction is the result of my having lived here since 1997 and feeling a need to ready the house for the next chapter and beyond.

Yes, the vintage was about 12 inches in diameter. If I had it I’d probably try to make it work. I’m pretty sure our house originally had fancy square grates for the ductwork which had been removed and replaced with mismatched flooring. Jo
